Thank you, AdoreMyDogs!

I know how it can be with dogs and birds, or outside cats and birds.

I was walking out part-bird dog/part beagle one time, a bird flew from the ground, Nellie jumped up and snatched the bird right out of the air. Luckily, when I said "drop it", Nellie dropped it. I think the bird survived!

I'm out of bird seed now, so the birds are looking rather sad out there now.
